Hello, it seems to be the 0844 surftime numbers it doesn't like. I
usually use G5 I tried G4 and got the same result. However when I tried
the Green ROMP it connected okay. This would make sense since the
BTclick is also an 0845 local rate number. 
Why it doesn't like the 0844 surftime  I have no idea.
